[TowerTalk] 55G for 21 SQ foot Antenna?

[Michael Rauh]

I want to support a 21 square foot antenna load at a heigth of 160 feet.  
The Rohn catalog says 55G is good for 14 square feet for 70 MPH wind speed 
at 160 feet or 16 square feet at 100 feet.  But look on page MS-66, where 
Rohn says an 80 foot 55G tower is good for 94 square feet!  From 80 feet to 
100 feet we lose 78 square feet?  What is going on with these ratings?  How 
can I find out what 55G is really able to handle?
